I think it’s more so an embodiment of just how intense (and stupid) brand loyalty can get.

He’s not saying “extra work” like it’s some huge burden. He’s simply saying “extra work” in the sense that your body has to do work (as in, exert some level of energy, no matter how small) in order to plug a cable in. If all you have to do is plop your phone down on an end table to charge, it does make it easier. And…

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being an early adopter, but can we stop pushing that narrative that everyone NEEDS a new phone every year or two years? The 6S is still a perfectly capable device if you’ve taken care of it. You’re not “due” for an upgrade unless you haven’t taken care of the phone and filled it…

You said it, man! I used to have a couple friends who had a tendency to ask me to do things on the weekends, the only time I get with my daughter, and always ask, “Could your parents watch her for the night?” It’s like... yeah, of course they could, and they love seeing their granddaughter, but I’m kind of past the…

I think the attraction is simply the size of the Pi, the convenience that it’s always running (and uses such little power), and that it has a very quick UI for getting to the game you want quickly. Obviously anything from N64 and onward takes a PC to run very well, but the Pi does a great job for anything between…

8Bitdo does a decent job of this. I have their SNES controller replica. The d-pad may be a bit different (I honestly can’t remember - been a long time) but the buttons are spot on.

I agree with you, but you’re still over-estimating the amount of work people are willing to put into playing old NES games. They just want to pay money, open box, and play.

More accurate headline:

As someone who uses Google Drive at home and in the office, this headline almost put me in a panic. It was one thing on this site when headlines were just getting a bit click-baity, and I could manage for a little while, but this crossed a line into plain wrong and stupid.

Sorry, my question was kind of rhetorical / meant for the OP. I knew you didn’t say that! And you’re definitely right in the case of eating badly or drinking too much alcohol.

I guess my confusion was more so what he meant by “and probably should”. Why would I want to choose my own death between a few different ways to go that all suck anyway?

There can be only one:

Can you elaborate on the idea of choosing your cause of death? How do you go about doing that? What are your choices, exactly?

I’m confused, are you saying we shouldn’t encourage our children to question their perception of something that’s not real? In that case, would it be gaslighting if I told a flat-earther, “It’s all in your head, the Earth is actually round”.

I wish I could star you one thousand times for replicating the enthusiasm in the original video.

The babby cant frigth back.

3. Can u get pregante?

I completely understand having a preference of being barefoot, but the fact is that our feet are made for soft surfaces like grass, not the hard flooring or concrete we encounter every day. So shoes or sneakers provide much better support and hygiene for your feet.

It’s kind of like how everybody jokes about Toby from The Office, but within the first few seasons (at least) he’s the one of the most intelligent, normal people on the show just doing his job.

For clarity: Not sure if there’s a “Toby” in the UK version of the show, but I am referencing the US version.

Where I live, it’s strangely normal practice to wear flip flops outside of the beach (though not at work), and I hate it. Aside from the sanitary issue, I also just find it kind of silly. We invented better, more supportive footwear than flip flops a long time ago. Wear sneakers!
